• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have the exact figure, but we did make a payment. I can confirm that figure. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said we commissioned the report which called for further investigations. We handed over the report to the investigative authorities. If I am directed I can avail the report. However, it is now with the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have the authority or capacity to direct the KACC. Maybe that Question can be handled by the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs or by the relevant Departmental Committee which the KACC reports to. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would be more than happy to oblige but I do not have the authority to direct the KACC. So, I can request but that does not necessarily mean that the KACC is bound to give me any information. That is why I was saying that there are other arms of the Government which can perform that function. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I will do as directed Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, in accordance with Section 101 of the Constitution of Kenya, the withdrawal of Kenya Shillings 319,762,623,324 representing one-half of the total net estimates of Recurrent and Development Expenditure made up in the manner set out in the Vote on Account Schedules laid in the House, be authorized for the purpose of meeting expenditure necessary to carry on the services of the Government of Kenya during the year ending on the 30th June, 2011 until such time as the Appropriation Act for the year comes into operation. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We are talking about the Vote on Account and the CFS is not part of it. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the CFS and debt payment are above the line. Those are statutory commitments of the Government of Kenya. Pensions are included in that. Those ones do not come before this House. We present and give a full account of what they are. What we are looking for is the expenditure for line Ministries through the Vote on Account and that is what requires parliamentary approval. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I precisely said is that what we are passing here is the Vote on Account. The CFS are commitments of the Kenyan Government which are captured in the Estimates. Parliament is informed what our debt is and what we need to pay. Those payments, with or without parliamentary approval, must and will be made. This has already been tabled before this House, for example, the 12 per cent is in the law. The CDF money, for example, comes directly above the line. Parliament does not approve that percentage because it is already approved by this House. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member, whom I respect very much, in order to mislead the House that we have misrepresented the numbers? What he has referred to is the Gross Expenditure, which is inclusive of Appropriations- In-Aid (A-In-A) and yet what we are seeking approval for is net expenditure. If you look at the Schedule, you will see that the numbers are identical to those in the books. view
